I’m gonna be completely honest, my initial pairing of them together was completely random. In fact, I thought of the pairing of them before I even started watching the show just from thinking of possible character dynamics, same with Slam x Audi, Danger x Rev, Tech x Audi, but Tech x Ace just kinda stuck the most because they’re so opposites attract, which is like, my thing in literally every single fandom I’m in. Like, predator x prey, extrovert x introvert, leader x follower, it’s just so perfect … & their green/yellow color scheme is sooo cute & just adds to the appeal for me.
I especially love their little interactions in the show, when Ace is always complimenting Tech’s inventions, when Tech calls Ace chief, when Ace challenges Tech’s technological prowess, & the things that literally nobody who isn’t me would care about, like Ace winking at Tech in The World is My Circus, Ace pulling Tech away from Sypher in Sypher, Ace’s voice softening when he’s talking to Tech in Stop The World, I Want To Get Off & Tech smiling at him right after, :((
Like, the thought of Tech being someone who could genuinely get Ace to behave vulnerably for once is just so precious to me, especially since that is my main issue with Ace’s character. I feel like they could compliment each other in general in a way that’s not TOO contrasting like some other ships… Like, Ace seems to actually understand Tech’s scientific lingo, but would just rather simplify it rather than theatricalize it, which is really silly & adds some cute banter for them.
I think the fact that they’re not popular in the slightest (I could literally only find three pieces of fanart of them ;-;) adds to why I like them so much. Because TechRev & AceLexi are both such overrated yawnfests to me (no offense to the shippers) I must uphold the AceTech agenda. Like, OMG, it’s so tiring to see the same type of ship art of nothing but the same two painfully boring ships (+ AceDanger sometimes, but AceDanger isn’t entirely THAT bad so) over & over again, ughhhhh.
